Bec provides a framework for building habits, confidence, and capacity before intensity, tailored for neurodivergent women and moms. She offers a workshop to help neurodivergent moms show up for their health without white-knuckling it.Join us for the workshopI'm running a free live workshop — Easy On Purpose: how ND mums show up for their health without white-knuckling it. 60 minutes. Free. Live.This is a 1 hour ND-friendly fitness strategy session, where you walk away with a strategy we've mapped out together. To register: DM me the word EASY on Instagram and I'll send you the link - @beccamerocoach_auKey Take AwaysYou cannot do hard things if you don't start disgustingly easy. That's the whole sentence.DE is a sequencing principle, not a slogan: confidence first, then capacity, then intensity. In that order. Always.Most ND mums don't have a discipline problem. They have a self-trust problem — built from years of starting and not finishing. DE rebuilds the file.If perceived discomfort is higher than perceived reward, you will quit. The job is to make the cost tiny and the win immediate.The three tests for DE: (1) you're embarrassed to tell anyone how small it is, (2) you scoff when you think about doing it, (3) the idea of NOT completing it is laughable.You expand from overflow, not pressure. When your nervous system is asking for more - that's when you add. Not when the calendar says so.Chapters00:00 Introduction to Season Two06:12 The Strategy for Doing Hard Things17:14 Workshop AnnouncementKeywordsneurodivergent fitness, ND mum, ADHD fitness, autistic women, nervous system, executive dysfunction, sustainable fitness, habit formation, self-trust, identity change, long game, perimenopause, postpartum fitness, strength training for women, easy on purpose, disgustingly easy

She begins by acknowledging the ideal of eating when hungry and stopping when full, but quickly points out that many people struggle with this concept due to external influences and personal histories. Bec shares her own journey with food tracking, revealing how it has evolved from a destructive practice to a useful tool in her life, especially postpartum. She emphasizes that tracking calories and macros can be beneficial when approached thoughtfully, and it should not be seen as a moral failing or a sign of weakness. Bec further explores the impact of capitalism on our food choices, highlighting how marketing manipulates our perceptions of health and nutrition. She discusses the challenges faced by neurodivergent individuals in recognizing hunger cues and the societal conditioning that often leads to disconnection from our bodies. Throughout the episode, Bec advocates for a balanced approach to food tracking, suggesting that it can serve as a bridge to understanding our bodies better, rather than a strict rule to follow. She introduces her upcoming initiative, the Deficit Diaries, aimed at providing a transparent look into her own fat loss journey while maintaining a compassionate and evidence-based perspective on nutrition.
